I switched from vi to vim in 1994 and found it immediately obvious how to quit — it was just like vi!

I guess I’ll never understand these memes.

Hm, this one intrigues me: what is commonly referred to as a website, without actually being a website?

Eh, please tell me how you’d implement a heuristic that doesn’t work either through magic or an algorithm.

So how does that neural network perform that task? There I can see only two possible options:

• magic
• an algorithm

Is sort by upvotes an algorithm?

Any sorting at all can only happen through one of the following:

• luck
• magic
• divine intervention
• an algorithm

I’d love to back up my phone locally, if there was an option, but AFAIK there isn’t, so I’m stuck.

Can you not use Syncthing?

There’s also a whole lot that’s just C/C++ exposing a Python interface, without any wrapping.

American audiences watching too many non-American movies — now that’s something I really didn’t have on my 2025 bingo card!

This video, Why US Signs Look Different Than The Rest Of The World’s, contains a lot of examples of such US road signs that depend on English text to convey their message:

In the US, traffic signs with crucial information are often written in only English text, no symbols, pictograms or anything else that could make it possible to guess what the sign is saying without being able to read English.

Slackware, of course, but when Debian was first released two years later I obviously switched (and it’s been Debian since then).

Even more real scenario: The first real visitor isn’t even a customer but a bored teenager who says nothing at all and instead takes a piss on the floor. (Anyone who ever published anything on the internet knows this scenario.)

The primary barrier for me: I’m not convinced that it’s a good idea.

Please, it’s only necessary to think about it seriously for a single moment to realize that a school where children are taught “that the earth is 6000 years old” obviously doesn’t exist.

But the joke here is about Americans, right? (If not, what is the joke that you’re trying to make!?)

Come on, I like a good “look at how stupid those Americans are” as much as anyone, but for it to be funny it has to be within the realm of what could possibly be true.

Sure. You’re very funny.
